The CrossFit 'Total' is pure strength. Another workout the skeptics will NEVER understand.... "But just one rep?" Yes. Just one. "I don't understand..." The 'Total' is a workout CrossFitters attack relentlessly and we had some great lifts today. You people are strong!

Great workout everyone. Nice Totals Candice and Casey. Watch out you two... Raegan has the strength potential of an Olympic athlete. Don't make her angry! There were several monster lifts today. That's good fuel that helped everybody push a little harder, and go a little longer. Just another part of CFSF that separates us from the Globo gyms, and the skeptics.
The 'Total' is Coach Rippetoe's contribution to CrossFit, and it's a beautifully simple workout with one objective: Go as heavy as possible. We've seen some mutant monster killers get a total score of over a thousand once or twice at CFSF, but most of the genetically inferior "normal" people score well below that.
What the 'Total' does do is help us quantify strength gains. Most will see gains over time, some really big jumps, and some more like an extra pound or two. Everything counts, and when you reach that failure threshold even a half-pound more on the bar makes a big difference.
Big THANKS to Sharon.
Thanks for another great day at CFSF.
Quitting is easy. Anyone can do it.
